Live at the Nut Bar with John Bolton and David Cunningham

Squirrel Founder John Bolton (better known as JB) and Chief David Cunningham (DC) sit down together, sometimes with guests, to chew the fat.

They discuss things like finance, the economy, investing and what's happening with mortgage interest rates.
